A team of physicists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. has collaborated on a paper that discusses the possibility of using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) to search for evidence of aliens piloting huge spacecraft around the Milky Way. They group has posted their paper on the arXiv preprint server.
In this new effort, the researchers note that science has advanced to the point that gravity waves can be detected by technology such as LIGO. They further suggest that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that aliens piloting spacecraft could leave gravity waves in their wake that could be detected here on Earth using such technology.
It would also have to be moving really fast—their calculations showed approximately 1/10 the speed of light. And it would have to be reasonably close—say about 326,000 light-years from Earth. They note that under such conditions, if they were to arise, researchers at LIGO should be able to spot the gravity waves generated.
The researchers also note that if aliens are using warp drives, scientists on Earth should be able to spot them, too, using the same technology, because such a craft would also generate gravity waves.

Hey Denny Crane. where are ye?
But what if the Aliens are hiding behind Uranus?
You’ve got to be careful of aliens, especially Klingons, on Uranus!
They’re up there we know. Marshall Applewhite and the Heaven’s Gate said so.
The Japanese have largely solved that problem.

We have spotted the furthest star ever recorded over 30 billion lightyears away and no UFOs between here and there.
When black holes merge they radiate energy equal to a few solar masses. To even detect that requires incredibly sensitive detectors. Since we have looking for alien radio waves for decades and got nothing I’d say this new idea is even more bogus.
Wonder what that cost us?
Do the scientist expect these to be tourist spacecraft, similar to our ocean going cruise ships?
Port calls to various solar systems?
Or track Stacey Abrams.........................
The researchers need not worry, the dim wits on the appropriations committees are easily confused.
...a paper that discusses the possibility of using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) to search for evidence of aliens piloting huge spacecraft around the Milky Way.
If there's one ET civilization that builds interstellar craft that look like giant round waffles, I'll be ready with the "LIGO my Eggo" joke.
Thanks BenLurkin.

The aliens are thousands of years ahead of us.
They use Anti-LIGO Stealth Technolgy [ALIGOST] to mask their G-wave trails.’
Even a 3rd grader can figure his one out.
What makes them think aliens need “giant” ships?
